Grande Dame Guignol: Die! Die! My Darling!

Name: Mrs. Trefoile

Location: A Gothic mansion in the British countryside.

Modus Operandi : Loves to quote bible passages, serves unsweetened oatmeal, chronic church goer, great slapper, likes knives, wears bright red lipstick during one of her many breakdowns, does not like mirrors, hates the young woman who might have been her daughter-in-law had her beloved son not died in a car accident, will lock you in the guest room.

Camp Factor: Tallulah as a crazed religious nut-job who croaks such fabulous lines as, Do not tax my patience, child ! (just before she bitch slaps Stephanie Powers) ... Donald Sutherland as a developmentally disabled servant... or my second favorite line, SCARLET AGAIN!?!?! (scream/croaked when she sees Powers in a red dress). And a special mention to the film's title; have you ever seen that many exclamation points in a movie's name?

About This Blog

I love horror films, been watching them all of my life.
As a gay man, I've come to note the more homo-erotic subtext in many of these films. From the obvious in films like, Interview With the Vampire, to the more subtle in movies like, Scream.
So, what I intend to do with this blog, is, from time to time, highlight a movie that is both scary as well as sensual,(or just plain campy) provided those elements are borne of gay or lesbian sensibilities.
